Intro and Outro

Time now for StoryCorps.

This project is traveling the country, recording conversations between loved ones ...

... like the one we'll hear today from two brothers.

Paul Corbit [Korr-Bit] Brown and John Brown sat down together in Charleston, West Virginia.

Paul -- the older brother -- wanted to know something about John's life...

... as a young gay man.

John Brown with his brother, Paul Corbit Brown, in Charleston, West Virginia.

This story and the many others is in the StoryCorps book, "Listening Is An Act of Love."

The book is now in paperback.

StoryCorps interviews are also kept at the Library of Congress and at NPR-dot-ORG.
